5/100 = 30/x solve for x
Cross multiply. Then solve for x.
okay thanks ms sue i have a other question
toy land is having a sale all items are 20% how much will you save on a item that usually sells for $ 95?
0.2 * 95 = ?
02 * 95 = 19
for the question 5/100 = 30/x solve for x. Is x this
x=600 ???
Yes. Both of your answers are right.
thanks ms sue aka the life saver :)
You're welcome, Laila. :-)
To solve for x in the equation 5/100 = 30/x, we can use cross multiplication.
First, let's rewrite the equation:
5/100 = 30/x
Now, cross multiply by multiplying the numerator of the first fraction by the denominator of the second fraction and vice versa.
Cross multiplication gives us:
5 * x = 100 * 30
To simplify, multiply 5 by x and 100 by 30:
5x = 3000
Now, isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 5:
(5x)/5 = 3000/5
x = 600
Therefore, the value of x in the equation 5/100 = 30/x is 600.
